Massachusetts’s average gas price is up 3 cents from last week ($3.35), averaging $3.38 per gallon. Today’s price is 29 cents higher than a month ago ($3.09), and $1.30 higher than November 1, 2020 ($2.08). Massachusetts’s average gas price is 2 cents lower than the national average. 

“We have finally seen a little dip in domestic demand for gasoline, which may signal that the seasonal post-Labor Day easing was a little delayed this year,” says Mary Maguire, Director of Public/Government Affairs. “And if the recent steady increase in crude oil prices takes a breather too, consumers may benefit at the pump with smaller price hikes.”

AAA Northeast’s November 1 survey of fuel prices found the current national average to be 2 cents higher than last week ($3.38), averaging $3.40 a gallon. Today’s national average price is 21 cents higher than a month ago ($3.19), and $1.27 higher than this day last year ($2.13).
